Gifcurry is an open-source video editor for GIF makers built in Haskell, offering a GTK GUI, a CLI, and a library API. It converts videos to GIFs (or videos) with cropping, trimming, text overlays, subtitles, size/FPS/color controls, and dithering.
Use cases
- convert a video clip into an animated gif
- crop and trim a gif from a movie scene
- add text captions or subtitles to a gif
- create an animated demo gif for a README or pull request
- make a custom animated emoji for Slack
- save a gif as a video instead
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, non-Electron desktop tool for making GIFs on Linux or Mac
- you need both a GUI and a scriptable CLI for GIF creation
- you want text overlays, cropping, and subtitle support when converting video to GIF
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured general-purpose video editor
- you require Windows support or a polished cross-platform installer
- you need actively developed software with recent releases
